Installing an Oracle Database client on Application Server

Hi all
I have posted before but thought I'd clean up my original question and repost - apologies but I'm desperate for help here.
I have a problem using Oracle Wallet with Application Server and Developer Suite 10g Rel 2 Software Update 10.1.2.3.0 on Windows 2003. The problem arises because the database which ships with this version of Application Server is 10.1.0.5. This database version is not compatible with Oracle Wallet external passwords eg sqlplus /@MY_WALLET_NAME.
So...to get around this I'm looking at putting the 10.2 database client on which will allow me to use sqlplus with the wallet.
My questions is:
Does anyone have any advice for retaining existing Application Server functionality (we use Discoverer, Forms and Reports (RWCLIENT)) with a new Oracle 10.2 home on the server?
I will put on the client so would expect if I copy across the tnsnames & sqlnet ora, the connectivity is all backward compatible. SQL*Plus is obviously backward compatible. I'm not familiar with Application Server so am looking for guidance on any configurations I might need to change to make sure they pick up the right Oracle Home. For example, with the new Oracle Home at the start of the %PATH%, will RWCLIENT work as normal?
Thanks,
Tom

Nothing special. Oracle Client installation is very simple.

  • Query Regarding Oracle Database Client

    Hello,
    I'm new to ORACLE and Intented to become Oracle Developer and DBA. I've question regarding Oracle Database Client software.
    I know that there is Oracle Database server software but what is this Oracle Database Client. Is there any need to Install it on client machine as client mostly access the database use application software mainly develope in Java or C# etc. So, what is it need.
    and one more question regarding SQL *Plus. Is it client process or server process as I learnent that it is client process and if it is. Is it can be part of Oracle Database Client. and can we seperately install the Oracle Database Client on machine on which DB server is aslo Installed.
    Looking for reply.
    Regards,
    Danish Kamran

    Certainly you are not mentioning the Oracle version, it is very important. Whenever you post a question reference the oracle version. There is a disk known as the oracle Client (10gR1, 10gR2 and 11gR1), this disk contains all required software to setup a client environment. If you are working with clients such as Java or C# you must have either the jdcb client driver (Jjava) or the ODBC software to access the database, this is included in the Oracle client disk.
    Instant Client
    There are other options for the client, you can install the instant client, this option allows you to install only the drivers without the Oracle utilities, this is particular useful if you are deploying third party applications and you don't want to install the complete client disk.
    SQLPlus
    SQL*Plus is a client application that runs on the client side, when you open a session it requests an Oracle server process to be executed on the server side. Once the session has been successfully setup then you can issue SQL commands from the client side. You should be aware that even if you launch SQL*Plus from the server side you will be working with two processes, one for the client and the second one for the oracle server. This connection mode is also known as dedicated server, but you should be aware that there is another connection mode known as shared server, I won't explain it since it already goes off topic.

  • Oracle Database Client -- Oracle Database in SSL mode.

    Experts,
    I am trying to connect to a remote oracle database which in SSL mode. I installed "Oracle database client" on other server and trying to connect to remote database in SSL mode.
    Can you please provide brief steps ?
    Do I need configure any wallets on client side too ?. If yes, copying wallets from database server to client is enough ?
    Please help me.

  • How to install Oracle Database Client 32-bit libraries.

    Dear All,
    In the document : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/b31765.pdf
    it is written "For 64-bit Linux system installations, you must use the Oracle Database Client 32-bit libraries"
    how can i install just the libraries from OUI Database 11.2
    Is it must to install these libraries first, whatif I install Oracle11.2 64bit client, and then install the OBIEE. Anyhow i need to install OracleDBClient to connect to Oracle server 11.2.

    You can't "just install the libraries", you need a full ORacle client installation. The Oracle client can be installed after OBIEE but you must have an Oracle client to connect to an Oracle database via OCI (which is the recomended approach). 64bit client should be fine as long as it has the 32bits libraries. The 10g client does, not sure about the 11g client. Make sure you install the FULL Oracle client, not the Instant Client. The 32bits client libraries are located under lib32, the lib directory is for the 64bits ones. You might need ot re-link them if they were linked correctly during the client installation. But for more information post a message in the Oracle client forum, this is the OBIEE forum.

  • Diff between Oracle 9i database and 9ias application server.

    Can any one brief in detail the difference between Oracle 9i database and 9ias application server.

    Hi,
    Your question is the answer. Oracle9i Database manages all your eBusiness data and Oracle9iAS runs all your eBusiness
    applications. In a 3 tier architecture, Oracle9i Database fits in the Database tier where as Oracle9iAS fits in the middle
    tier. Oracle9iAS provides an infrastructure to run different types of applications(J2EE thru OC4J, Forms applns, Portal
    based applns, Wireless applns etc..)
    Cheers !

  • Checking database connectivitty from application server

    Hello All,
    I am installing Peoplesoft on Oracle Linux 6.3 but the database server is running on a different windows server. I have created the Peoplesoft database already using peoplesoft client tools(Data mover, config manager) installed on the same windows server. So now I want to verify the connectivity to the database running on windows server from app server installed on Linux.
    In the peoplesoft installation guide, I didn't find the sufficient instructions to do so :
    Before continuing, it is critical to verify connectivity to the database that the application server domain will use. To verify connectivity, connect to the database server from the >application server using the native SQL tool on the application server.
    For Oracle use SQL*Plus.Which SQL tool is it talking about and where I can find it? I have already searched inside $TUX_HOME/bin directory but didn't find any.
    Thanks in advance.

    In order for the application server to connect to the database you should have installed Oracle (Client). Did you do this already?
    If so, copy the tnsnames.ora from the db server to your application server Oracle dir and try connectivity using sqlplus
    +sqlplus SYSADM/SYSADM@[YOUR_SID]+
    in dought, please read Nicolas his posts on installing PeopleSoft on Linux.
    http://gasparotto.blogspot.nl/p/installation.html
    Thanks, The problem is that I am not able to install Oracle DB client 11.0.3 in Oracle Linux 6.3 so I though may be tuxedo have such client which could help me connecting to database.
    Isn't there any way we can connect without DB client?

  • Unattended install of oracle ODBC client

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install the Oracle ODBC client on a W2K server. This server is a Terminal server. This server is being installed completely unattended. For one of our new programs on the server we need an ODBC connection to our Oracle Server. We tried the connection and it worked fine.
    Now we need of course to make the installation unattended, and there comes the problem. I've been testing with responsefiles and silent install, but that gives me an error/warning that the "temporary location can not be openend. Verify the 'source'". I don't know what the message means.
    Does anyone have an idea how I can do this installation without the oracle installer, or is there an easier way.
    Or does anyone have a solution to this problem I'm having with the responsefile.
    Thanks,

  • Changes to enable oracle database xe for application like delphi

    I will like to know if you have a plan to make easier to work using oracle database for small applications, using delphi, visual fox, etc.
    This means maybe there will be a restriction to one (or maybe several) open database at a time.
    An script to start on windows the database without using oracle services.
    Did you thought in that solution?
    Or there is currently one.
    This is to keep very small systems.
    Does anybody used it in a delphi application instead of msaccess or interbase.
    Thank you.

    Thanks
    -Do you mean limit the concurrent database connections? There is the SESSIONS instance parameter, but don't lower it below about 30 or so or the database housekeeping functions will suffer.
    No only one oracle process at atime
    it is possible to start an oracle database without creating a service, the idea is oracle create a tool for doing it.
    What you do is to move the regedit variables to set variables in DOS, then you start the database.
    i did it too on oracle develoepr 6i, I don't have to install to use it.

  • How to connect to  Oracle database from webdynprojava application

    Hi
    How to connect to  Oracle database from webdynprojava application. where can we provide the code to connect to database.?
    Thank You.

    Hi,
    You need to create  Java Bean model. The bean is a typical java bean with default constructor, getter and setter. You can have additional methods for query etc. The attributes in the class will be your model node and attributes.
    However you need to configure the connection and create JNDI using visual administrator before writing the code.
    You can also consider writing Session EJB with oracle and using them in WD.

  • Migrate  oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005

    Hi All,
    I have to migrate production oracle database to Microsoft sql server 2005. Below are the details:
    Oracle database version: 8.1.7.4
    Platform : Aix
    Kindly help me out

    Well, the traditional way would be to dump out all your data from Oracle tables as comma delimited flat files and import into SQL server. Plenty of examples online, like this is one by Mark Powell: http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/flatfile.html
    Or if you have the budget you could think about buying a data mapping tool like File-Aid
    As mentioned by another poster, you will still need to figure out how to replace all your triggers, stored procedures, etc on your new platform of course.

  • How to install two oracle database on one system

    i want to install two oracle databases on single system how it is possible
    how i can manager oracle home and is this possible to install two different version of oracle in single home or single system forexample oracle 9 and oracle 8 .
    A.R

    Hi,
    yes, u can have more databases on a single machine and they can be of different versions.
    You have to use and initialize the correct ORACLE_HOME to create the DB of the version U use.
    For ex, u have 2 homes:
    C:\Oracle\Ora817 8i home and C:\Oracle\ora920 9i home
    Normally, using OFA, imagine that You want create 2 db, TEST_8I for 8i home and TEST_9I for the 9i home, You shold have:
    C:\Oracle\Admin\TEST_8I\<<OFA DIRS>> and C:\Oracle\Oradata\TEST_8I for 8i DB adn C:\Oracle\Admin\TEST_9I\<<OFA DIRS>> and C:\Oracle\Oradata\TEST_9I for the 9i version.
    It is important, when You create the DB, that u use the executables of C:\Oracle\Ora817\bin to create 8i db and C:\Oracle\Ora920\bin for the 9i one.
    Then U can use the 9i listener to manage both instances
    Hope this helps
